Why is getting rid of old tshirts so tough? Like, I know I havenโ€™t worn it in two years, but it was a *moment* in my life that I really enjoyed. (My T-shirt drawer is overflowing, so I really do need to pare it down)

We can throw away $120,000,000 flipping fighter jets into the sea, but canโ€™t afford to give the pilots healthcare when they retire.

How Trump Plays Into Putinโ€™s Hands, From Ukraine to Slashing U.S. Institutions Many of President Trumpโ€™s actions have been seen as benefiting Russia either directly or indirectly, so much so that Russian officials have celebrated some of his moves.

โ€œItโ€™s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.โ€

Huh. You don't say.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

4 years ago, SCIENCE for the WIN. I worked for a park district, so I got myself in early for my Covid vaccine. (This was just when it was exciting & felt hope that we were coming out of this, before the vaccine was fully weaponized & politicized. By the time I got the 2nd, the 5G conspiracy started)

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they donโ€™t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

if there's one thing Evangelical Christians know it's that having the state execute a beloved dissident always stops that dissident's message from spreading so yeah seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione seems smart

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.โ€
